**NEW FLOWERHORN** IN COMMUNITY TANK | Turtle, Blood Parrots, Tiger Barbs

A flowerhorn aka LuoHan living alongside a turtle, blood parrots, tiger barbs, clown loaches and many more fishes.
Been sitting on the fence of getting a flowerhorn for months before I saw an incredible deal at Xtremefishhobbyist ( • MONSTER FISH STORE TOU... ) and decided to go with it.

HELP ME NAME THE FLOWERHORN! I'm thinking THANOS. What do you think?

[@daniru5725]

Name him daniru

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Hahaha you want him to be named after you?

[@daniru5725]

Exactly

[@Dontata2112]

Name it: smash!

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Asri ismail oooooo thats a rly good name! He would become the mascot of the channel!!

[@italiangoogan8209]

I think the blood parrots are breeding and layed eggs in the cave, that why the barbs go to them (try to eat the eggs). Which is also why the parrots attack them away. Great video keep it up!

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Seems like it! (Thats what everyone is saying). Thank you for input 😁

I know the video has 3 years but only one questions.. whats de specie of those tiger barbs? I think i know them but only see smaller...

[@richardnation3379]

awesome tank. I am getting a parrot soon. Saw one at the petstore and feel in love so I am planning tankmates and my set up. Unfortunately I dont have much room for a big tank, for now anyway so starting with a 30 gallon. Do they do okay alone without any other large fish since I dont have much room, and what are the striped catfish looking fish? i'm thinking about tigerbarbs and, maybe a peapuffer or some small tetras. Do you think those would be good tankmates? I love the bigeyes on the baby parrot I saw at petco and the big peapuffer eyes! I think I might start a coral reef tank as well If I do okay with the freshwater one. I have a single betta tank now and only for a week but that lil fish got me addicted! lol

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Hey richard! A blood parrot will do just fine alone. The stiped fish i think you're referring to the clown loaches. They school well with tiger barbs. Ill caution against peapuffers and tetras because they will likely become a snack for the blood parrot. Finally..... welcome to the addiction, this is only the beginning 😂

[@richardnation3379]

@@SGBeardedAquaristThanks so much for replying, My name is Karen, Rich's wife. Got to get my own account but anyway I have been online watching youtubes and researching fish since I basically stole the beta from my daughters friend that I was fish sitting! lol Poor thing was in a tiny bowl and freezing with not one thing in t! so I went to petco for aquarium and of all the fish the one I feel for was that parrotfish. It came right up to and just stared at me with those big eyes! I love the big eyes on the peapuffer to so maybe I will just get another small counter top tank for some of them sometime soon, cause I need some...lol Thanks so much for replying

What going on with his top fin?

[@Mr.Sofishticated]

Bro , the flowerhorn is in stress ,you can see black stress marks .Flowerhorn are very sensitive and becomes stress soon. I would suggest get a separate or bigger tank soon . Trust me you will see his real beauty . Don’t mind but tank looks crowded . It’s blood parrot team up making him stress rather then Tom the turtle . I still suggest get 120 gallon plus tank if you can . Or at least 100 gallon. The more wider the better. But still kudos to you it’s not a massacre 😂 . My flowerhorn would have killed all or died trying . Still it’s good to see you check up on your tank every day .

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Thanls for the input bro! Yeah the blood parrots are stressing him out. Im really hoping that as the flowerhorn gets more comfy and even adds some size that he'll establish himself and the chasing will go away. So far its been improving but its still there. Upgrading is hard as of now until the turtle gets bigger so I've to really work with what i have for now.

[@Mr.Sofishticated]

SG Bearded Aquarist thanks for always replying . No pressure on upgrade , take your time . Btw for the price you got Flowerhorn is amazing . The shop owner is chilled dude . Wish we had owners like him here .

Nice FH bro! Thanos will soon be King of that tank. Tell your turtle he “should’ve aimed for the head (kok) lol the parrots might be spawning, check the cave. Also good job on upgrading the filtration and taking precautions. I believe FHs can be kept with other fishes not all are crazy! I can say that from experience also the loaches and barbs act as dither fish. But all in all we can’t wait for the tank upgrade you will go bigger at some point,it’s inevitable 😎 #BeardGang

What kind of substrate are you using??

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Just normal aquarium sand :)

Let me be honest, if you can't make the fish happy, then don't keep them, you are just torturing them for you own satisfaction. Don't you think that tank is overcrowded? I don't get your logic. You mention in your replies that you are learning, etc. But this isn't about learning, you just don't do this kind of stuff. What motivated you from putting that flowerhorn into the tank in the first place? 2 blood parrots need a big tank dude and obviously that flowerhorn along with many other fish don't belong in that lone tank.

Sorry to say this .... But you have to research about the fishes and then get them ..... And fishes living condition is bad ..... Too crowded .... And some of the fishes are not community tank fishes .....

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Well hello there. Ive been waiting for a comment like yours! 1. Don't ever be sorry to say something. We all have our opinions. 2. Did you watch the entire video? I addressed your points. 3. Lets assume you did, why do you claim the living condition is bad (too crowded)? Did you base that on what youve read on the internet, your gut feeling or on the condition of my fishes. 4. Yes I agree that some of the fishes in here are not deemed by the common consensus to be fishes suited for community tanks. I also know these are not rules, these are guides. These are starting points for beginners or people who don't want any risk. Fishes are living things with their own agency. None of them are community tank fishes. None of them are fish tank fishes in fact. Realize that when they receive a label, it is not inherent in them, it is something the industry decided to give them for general usage. Ie. It holds true most of the time. So take it for what it is: a guide for someone starting out, not a doctrine to tell someone who is able to do it that he shouldnt. Anyway, appreciate your comment and concern.

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Ah yes. Your brilliance and intelligence is glaring in your logic. A failure in golden saum but success in blood parrots, tiger barbs, convict cichlids, clown loaches, rainbow sharks, danios, giant danios, plecos, honey gouramis, gouramis would lead to the logical conclusion that a flowerhorn would be unsuccessful. Very sound logic you have there my friend. But hey, let's top that of by calling others stupid because it's not enough that you have the most sound logical derivation in history. For you info, the flowerhorn in thriving now and it's more than a year later. The colours are popping, the nuchal hump is huge and it has bred with the blood parrot several times IN that tank. I'm growing out the fry separately. So by all means, keep that attitude up.

[@SlimKalHoone]

@@SGBeardedAquarist, pretty non-intelligent way to justify hurting a fish for views ... but hey, again ... no cure right 🤷🏽‍♂️ ... 😁

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Ah yes. The difference between me and you is that when I attack your intelligence, I do it by pointing out your logical fallacy. You do it by just saying "non-intelligent". Fyi, I'm not justifying hurting that fish. I'm justifying your stupidity. You want justification for hurting the fish? Think of all the information you ever read about how to keep fish in an aquarium. How do you think they came about? You think the pioneers had aquarium.info to read or was it through trial and error? They recommend not keeping 2 male flowerhorns in the same tank. Why? You think when the breeders hybridized a flowerhorn it came with an instruction manual that said you can't do so? You ever seen gouramis sold at your fish shop? Well let me tell you that mankind have sacrificed many gouramis in the past to make that happen. They always died in shipping because the conventional storage method back then didnt allow these labrynith fish to breathe. Did they fail once and say nope, not possible? Nah they tried again and again until they found out why. So as far as keeping fish with turtles, look it up on the internet. Few resources are available and I'm actually one of the biggest resource. So I'm not only trying, I'm sharing the results or lack thereof with the community so that one day with enough data, people can make informed choices. Now, does that justify the hurt it caused to that one or two fish? Under utalitarian ethics, it is the rational and moral option. For without available info, hundreds and thousands more will suffer that fate. But is it universally justifiable? Theres no such thing. Justifiability is largely individual. So it's up to you. If it's a question of morality that you subscribe to, its personal choice. I couldnt care less what you think. If it's a question of ignorance, please wisen up.
